New ones in Japan can even be bad for 2.3 - 2.5 usd - grey market though. Honestly never seen such a bargain for a capable / wearable watch from a big brand
I picked up an unworn trilogy Railmaster from Japan a few months back when the yen hit near perfect rock bottom for much the same money. Railmasters are super under rated, great proportions and tech. Enjoy yours mate!
Your posts have become weekend mandatory! Excellent content, laugh out loud commentary. “Better down where it’s wetter (take it from me)”. Thank Heavens you were rescued from engineering for something better.
"...sucking harder than a black hole with bills to pay." Andrew, another weekend another great video. How you can combine history, information and humor all in a video is pretty impressive. Thanks again for knowledge and a chuckle!
I hate to be the one to break it to ya but it's not a hidden gem. It's just not a popular model. Most know it exists. Imop the older Railmasters were cooler. Along with the chronograph version
I finally pulled trigger on Seiko Tuna. SBBN033, it’s a “smaller” 300m model. Wears like a charm. Lug-to-lug the same as my 38.5mm Seiko SARB035. A mere 44mm for a 48mm watch. And it glows like a torch.
When are you going to bless us with a watch book? Magazine style, it would sell in big numbers,get to it!? Your humorous story telling will be just as good in the written form as with the spoken one..
Have you considered writing watch oriented books with your wry humor? Sign me up! Great work. I really appreciate your content. Suggestion: consider doing some more talking hands. That was your space, don’t walk away from it! Thank u
The banter is actually even better than the watch content. Too many lines to quote from you but all make me smile. Legend. Thanks your videos are such a highlight to my week. Of these watches my pick would be the ploprof. What people don’t realise is just how surprisingly well it wears and how nails it is at the same time. With an epic movement as well.
I 100% agree that everyone should try a Doxa Sub 300 or 300T at some point. My first 'REAL' watch was a Doxa Sub 300T, to celebrate sucessfully quitting heroin after 6 years of addiction. I'd been wishing I owned one ever since I first read a Clive Cussler book many years ago. I had trouble deciding between the traditional 'Professional' (Bright orange dial), Shark Hunter (black) and 'Aquamarine', and finally settled for 'Professional'.....Then a couple of months later, having got the watch collecting bug, I then went out and got a Sub 200 in 'Aquamarine'........A few months later, my local AD was advertising the Sub 200 Chronograph for £1K below RRP, so obviously that was another two grand gone from my bank account! Just as well I'd quit injecting heroin, as this new hobby was becoming horribly expensive. Since then, I've acquired 2 more Doxas, one 1950's dress watch, can't remember the model number off the top of my head, and a 1945 German military issue Doxa 'DH' watch. Out of the 30 or so watches in my collection, the Doxas are probably my favourites, although I've never worn the Sub200 or the C-Graph.......Amazingly my second fave is a comparatively inexpensive Seagull 1963 Chronograph, which also happens to be my most accurate mechanical watch, gaining on average 1 second every 4 days! Better than some of my Quartz watches! Personally I'm VERY impressed for an under £300 watch to be THAT accurate. In conclusion....Watch collecting for me IS an improvement on wasting vast amounts of money on heroin. It was more expensive initially, until I managed to fill both of my watch display boxes, and managed to calm myself down a bit. It's now been at least 6 months since I bought a watch (A genuine Casio F91W to go with the fake one that I unfortunately ended up with first from a dodgy ebayer.), so I think I've got the addiction under control, and I've not touched any of the H for almost 3 years now :D
Really fun list of watches! Think I need a doxa in my collection! Have lots of Seikos , mostly divers. Also some GS. Went to the other side, and bought a Omega railmaster, silver stainless dial. Gray market, great price for a new Omega. Kind of the ultimate tool watch for me. I farm, work around 100 hp electric motors. All my other watches get removed, before working around the motors. The railmaster......nope. The forgotten, maybe unloved , tool watch! Grand Seiko makes a great tool watch also. Sbgp015 with a 9f movement. Wear that one to work also.
I'm all in on a watch that helps with "... not dying!" The Doxa review has really helped me discover and want the emerald 200T. And I feel justified with my choice of the Railmaster - I love that silver version, with kinda orange-y, it works spectacular on a blue/orange NATO (and if you can still find that watch, I highly recommend it for a killer bargain, with a "wow, what is that watch?" impact)
As per !!!!! Top presentation . Great graphics and pics . And there’s always a gem in there somewhere for me . This time it’d be Doxa and the word ‘malarkey’ together . Two favourites of mine . And don’t be swayed by Darrenfry !!!! I baggsied first !!!! Ever onwards!!! L gooru
You might be right….but the Railmaster on the denim and leather strap is the best weekend watch a person can own! PERIOD. That 1000M Tuna can will HAVE to be tried on my next Asian trip. I go at least twice a year, so I should have a chance. 50mm diameter case sounds huge, but the Lunar Pilot is pretty big too, and that’s still doable. I’ll let ya know. Your sense of humor is spot on…thanks for the efforts. Very enjoyable. 😂
You had me until Hublot, but I confess that I just don’t get their watches. I also don’t understand the appeal of the integrated look. But you made me laugh this morning!
The Ploprof is a beast of a watch. I tried one on a few days after Omega re-released it in 2009 and it wears surprisingly comfortably. But the price is too much for me. So very likely I will go after another dive watch icon, the Doxa Sub 300T.
Trying on a watch doesn't have to take a lot of time but i really don't know why i would waste even the smallest bit of my lifetime with a Hublot or RM! If i'm lucky, my opinions are confirmed and evrything is as before but if i'm unlucky i start liking these things without knowing how to afford them. Nah, i stick with the Tuna, Doxa and PloProf and call it a day. Thanks for a funny and entertaining video!
Your analogies are as complicated and amusing as a slapstick comedy plotted by John Le Carré, and your similes are like a smooth layer of hazelnut spread on top of a thick slice of toasty watch information.
The Big Bang and every RM watch I have ever seen are just unpleasant, not the abominations that the current watch discourse maintains. However they do clearly traverse the boundaries of good taste. Even if you squint a lot. I think you need a holiday Andrew. You've changed buddy. Can I still trust you?
Apologies if you have. However, was wondering if you had reviewed the A Lang &Sohne Datograph Handwerkskunst? Say that three times real fast😉. I will probably never own one. However, with your superb word smithing and excellent b roll. Well that's the next best thing. Thanks for all the great videos☮️
Doxa: that no-decompression bezel seems like such a nice idea. Too bad it wears off quickly, and you wind up with a rotating bezel where you can no longer read the outer set of numbers. So, then you decide to have Doxa replace the bezel, and they tell you that they don't have any spare bezels for your watch (this is a modern Doxa, not one from the 70s). So now you are stuck with a no-decompression watch without the no-decompression numbers...
That DOXA SUB 300 is a helluva watch, but can't see myself justifying the extra cash over the King Turtle. I know they're fundamentally different watches, but they're so close (especially on the rubber).
Hodinkee had a flash sale last week and I picked up a Hodinkee Timex Waterbury automatic for $69 reg $279. It's not a great watch but good for f-ing around 😊
@@KeepingWatchUKAnd the very heavy faux patina that looks like piss yellow is another turn off. There's plenty of reasons why that watch remains forgotten
Another Brilliant and funny post! You would make a brilliant Comedy Sketch writer well if it was back in the 1970s! now you would be cancelled ! Keep them coming Andrew!
Great video as always Andrew. I have a specific ask? Do you have any recommendations on the alternatives of moser &cie venturer vantablack. A minimalistic dress watch with black dial.
Bulgari - holy moly! Yes, it is amazingly thin, and I want, I desperately want. But, I live in Hawaii, a mellow (meaning, not Vegas - we fly there, we aren't it), kind of place. Give me that same watch in a white dial, blue strap or other stuff - TAKE.MY.MONEY. But in titanium blah... nope.
I recently bought a barely-worn denim Railmaster on bracelet and 4+ warranty years remaining for $3K. A no-brainer!
New ones in Japan can even be bad for 2.3 - 2.5 usd - grey market though. Honestly never seen such a bargain for a capable / wearable watch from a big brand
@@hammalamiri12there’s a reason they go for almost 50% off.

@@timothyfoley3000 May I ask why?
Just curious as I've never heard anyone have it as their grail before.

"...sucking harder than a black hole with bills to pay." Andrew, another weekend another great video. How you can combine history, information and humor all in a video is pretty impressive. Thanks again for knowledge and a chuckle!
Is it bad that I like the humour just as much as the watch content? Come for the humour, stay for the watch content.
Totally. I mean, who cares about a Hublot? We want to hear more about tuna cans and black holes in the red ;-)
@@thehumblehorologist6091 I actually don’t mind Hublot but this clip got me a little more curious about the tuna, which is worrying.
Nothing wrong at all with enjoying the humour! Makes a pleasant change in an industry that is generally somewhat 'stuffy' and easily offended.
I've seen Hublot mentioned on a serious watch chanel. I can die in peace now.
The Railmaster is one of the Omega’s hidden gems………AND GONE. A stainless steal (I know), on the grey market. All the METAS and non of the Milgauss.
I got my Railmaster for £2,920 brand new from a U.K. dealer last November. Black Friday deal I believe. 😊
I hate to be the one to break it to ya but it's not a hidden gem. It's just not a popular model. Most know it exists. Imop the older Railmasters were cooler. Along with the chronograph version
@@lonewolfemcquade8133 time will tell Lone Wolf. Time will tell. 👍🏻
This vid has more similes and metaphors than an Andrew Morgan video.
Brilliant as always.
unpopular, but correct opinion: RM is much more gaudy than Hublot
Have two baby tuna’s ( auto’s ) and already starting the hunt after the big boy: Emperor Tuna Automatic. Simply love that thing.
I finally pulled trigger on Seiko Tuna. SBBN033, it’s a “smaller” 300m model. Wears like a charm. Lug-to-lug the same as my 38.5mm Seiko SARB035. A mere 44mm for a 48mm watch.

I have the Seiko tuna Marine master Ninja SBBN035. The 7C46 high torque movement is LEGENDARY and worth all the hype

I am proud to own one of the last made limited Doxa 1200 T Professional (the one with the escape valve) and I love it every single day!!!
Did like your Disney 'Under the Sea' song reference. Always made me smirk when the kids played that song.

Lovely collection, nice share James. Rail Master is such a gem.
”…it’s like sitting down and watchin The Matrix after a decade of Hugh Grant!!! ” 😂😂😂 Genius…as allways!
The Tuna is about my least favourite watch design. It is such a filthy hockey puck of a watch. Each to their own.
Agreed
The Breguet Type XX looks like my Sinn 356 Flieger... only for 10x the price and too large for my wrist. Easy pick for me!
Or even Longines Avigation Big Eye for under $3K!
When you mentioned Hublot, all I thought was "oh boy, Nico Leonard would have a conniption fit."
The problem with Nico is that he found something that generates a reaction so who knows how he really feels about Hublot
So very much enjoy your content! Intelligent, comprehensive and hysterically funny. Thank you!!

Interesting choices! I'll start trying all the actual classics, and then look into the ones mentioned here.
My absolute favorite watch tuber, hilarious quips and snide comments bring me joy, except of course, mentioning the dreaded Youblow.
Another witty, fun, articulate and informative video from Andrew. Great work mate!
Love the quips 😂 great video
The last one is at the end.
I’m sure of it!!!

Squale invented the bezel locking mechanism in their 1988 Tiger model diver.
Nice selection, and the Hublot is quite the hot take.
I would be very interested in a review of the CW C63 Valour. Sounds like a good idea?
Does he even make any more hands-on reviews?

The Doxa review is the funniest review of any watch ever? Little ‘Cousteau ‘ Mermaid invented the aqualung thing that stops you…dying.
‘The only boys these will be touching will be orange and bouncy’ so wrong 😂😂
a lovely dig at the clergy though
Interesting take on Hublot

Couldnt afford most of those perhaps with the exception of the seiko.
Amazing how much I disagree with your Panerai opinion. However, well done video.
At first glance, I love the Omega railmaster. But the longer I look at it the less I like it. Its odd )))
I suppose I could try on the Hublot, even if just to snap a wristshot and post it to the PrideAndPinion subreddit.
Love your channel with so many stellar watches! For me the AMZWATCH’ watch is my favorite. Keep the videos coming. Thanks.

There's a presage model with enamel dials and black urushi as well. Neither are matte or as dark as vantablack, however

I have and love two Omega watches, but to me, the Railmaster is boring. I'd never buy it for any price.
Hey andrew would love to see you review Raketa watches
Ever since I bought a watch from MAMACOO , My question is if it's this hard to tell them apart, what is the point of owning an authentic watch?
Dirk Pity, everyones fav adventure hero also wore a Doxa dive watch. If only Omega chose a catchier name than railmaster it would have been better
Well it was always going to be something master. Suggestions? Locomaster? Steammaster? Verifyingthatthetrainislateagainmaster?
hahahahahhahaa , im here for the one liners in equal measures to the watch knowledge , dont sever top man
Yay Hublot!
Wait...
How does one get better down where it's wetter?
I have to say that #amzwatch 's watches are amazing!

Doxa is killing it lately. The Sub 200T is a near perfect dive watch for $1500.
